The first time the vacuum cleaner is
switched on, the highest setting will be
selected automatically.
After that, the vacuum cleaner will
switch on at the setting which was used
previously.
 Press the + footswitch to select a
higher suction power level.
 Press the - footswitch to select a

During vacuuming
 When vacuuming, pull the cleaner be-
hind you on its wheels. You can stand
it upright for vacuuming stairs and
curtains etc.

When vacuuming, in particular
fine dust, e.g. sawdust, sand, plaster,
flour, talcum powder etc., electro-
static charges build up naturally. Un-
der certain conditions these charges
will be released. To avoid the un-
pleasant effects of these discharges,
a metal inlay has been incorporated
into the underside of the handle.
Please make sure that you keep your
hand in constant contact with this
metal strip during vacuuming (dia.
20).
Switching the Electrobrush on and
off (dia. 21)
To use the Electrobrush, it must be
switched on additionally to the vacuum
cleaner.
 To do this, press the On/Off button 
on the Comfort handle.
This means that you can switch the
Electrobrush off during vacuuming and
the vacuum cleaner will continue to op-
erate using suction only. This is useful
when moving from vacuuming a fitted
carpet to a rug, for example.
Setting down, transportation
and storage
Park System for pauses during
vacuuming (dia. 22)
(cannot be used with the Electrobrush)
The Park System allows you to conveni-
ently park the suction tube and floor-
head during pauses.
 Slot the floorhead or floorbrush into
the parking attachment on the va-
cuum cleaner.
If your vacuum cleaner is on a slop-
ing surface, e.g. a ramp, retract the
telescopic tube fully.
Park system for storage (dia. 23)

Always disconnect the vacuum
cleaner from the power supply when
you have finished using it. Switch off
at the wall socket and withdraw the
plug.

Stand the vacuum cleaner upright.
Retract the telescopic suction tube
fully so that the vacuum cleaner takes
up less room for storage.

Slot the floorhead downwards into
one of the parking attachments on
either side of the vacuum cleaner (the
parking attachments cannot be used
with the Electrobrush SEB 228).
